Meet the Clik Stik: an all-in-one training tool

The Clik Stik by Karen Pryor Clicker Training is designed for positive reinforcement sessions both at home and on the go. This all-in-one device combines a dependable dog clicker with a retractable target stick, offering a single, streamlined tool that can guide your training from a comfortable distance. Weighing in on the essentials of clear communication, this tool helps you mark the moment a behavior happens while providing a visual cue to your pet, supporting a smoother learning process.

Distance, precision, and versatility

The telescoping target stick extends from 6 to 23 inches, letting you cue and guide your dog in a variety of environments—from cozy indoor rooms to outdoor walks and training classes. When the stick is retracted, the clicker still functions for reliable signaling, so you’re always prepared to reinforce good behavior on the move. This flexibility can help you set up training scenarios that match your dog's energy level and your living space.
